We say “Allahu akbar” when we pray. God is greater. Greater than what? Everything. And yet, as soon as we start to pray, what do we think about? Our heart and mind seem to say: “My job Akbar” “My family akbar” “What I’m doing tonight akbar”. It is human nature to be imperfect. But we should be humbled by the deficient salah we hand Allah every single day, and keep struggling. And, thus we end salah with 3 heart felt “astaghfirAllah

Ya Allah, make my relationship with you so strong that I don’t need these people or this world. Ya Allah, let me thrive on your love and the love for your deen. Alhamdulillah for the beauties of this world you have blessed me with, but, ya Allah, do not let me get attached to such short-lived materials.

What seems to be our worst prayers may really be, in God’s eyes, our best. Those I mean, which are least supported by devotional feeling. For those may come from a deeper level than feeling. God sometimes seems to speaks to us most intimately when he catches us, as it were, off our guard.

Everything will happen at the right moment.Why rush into something that will end up with better results if prolonged a bit? Sometimes all something needs is patience and trust in Allaah.

I keep walking because behind every sun’s setting is a rising, behind every storm is a Refuge, behind every fall is a rise, behind every tear is a cleansing of the eyes. And in every spot you’ve ever been stabbed, is a healing, and the creation of skin stronger than it was.

Sometimes we lose hope in turning to God and asking for His help because we feel like we have done too much wrong. And yet think of a child who has just angered his mother and immediately after trips and falls on the stairs. Even if that child had just angered his mother to tears, the moment he falls and cries for help, she runs to him. This is human mercy. And God is infinitely more merciful than a mother is to her child. So, do you think—no matter what you’ve done—when you’re falling and cry out to the *most* merciful…He wouldn’t come save you?
